Usually my chairman doesn’t jump at every award as he has rejected several awards in the past. For him to have even accepted this is an indication of how important and valuable the Lagos Panorama SDG Grassroots Award is to him”.

“He had turndown several award proposals including from several Institutions both from in and outside the country offering to award him doctorate awards but he ignored them.

So on this note, for the great honour you have brought to our Executive Chairman I want to appreciate and thank the Lagos Panorama Editorial Board for this wonderful initiative and urge you to please keep the good work going” advised Ojo Council Manager.
